A real loss

I'm working on an obituary for Ed Justice, Sr., who died over the weekend at 87 years old.

Justice was one of three brothers that created the Justice Brothers Inc., a Duarte-based company that sells car care additives.

Justice had a passion for cars, planes, bikes, and, well, "anything automotive," Justice's son said.

Justice got involved in stock car racing right as NASCAR was getting started in 1950. After that, Justice's company took off.

Justice retired in the 1980s, although he spent much of his time on the automotive museum at the company's location in Duarte. That was Justice's baby, his son said.

"There is nothing that he loved more than someone who would come in to the museum," said Justice Brothers Vice President Kelvin Muinos. "He would wait for them to come in and pounce on them like a cat waiting for a mouse."

Look for the story in tomorrow's paper.
